What you'll be doing

As a Consultant, Data Governance Adherence, you'll join the Chief Data Office team and contribute to the ongoing execution of CIBC's data governance practices across our business and functional teams. You'll support data governance adherence activities with a primary focus on data risk assessment, deficiency calibration, and control execution. This includes reviewing enterprise issues against the data risk taxonomy, gathering and assessing control evidence from business partners, and working with stakeholders to support consistent, well-informed outcomes. You'll collaborate with partners across the business, Risk, and Internal Audit to clarify requirements, align classifications, and support strong governance practices. You'll also have the opportunity to contribute across a range of governance activities as team priorities evolve, building your knowledge and judgment over time.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. Details on your work arrangement (proportion of on-site and remote work) will be discussed at the time of your interview.
